Postgraduate and job application deadlines are drawing near. Maybe you’ve already got an interview or a place at a newspaper lined up and want to be a bit more prepared. Maybe you’re embarking on a year of freelancing and want the best advice. Whatever your reason, be sure to check out some of these events happening all over the country.
In a guest lecture yesterday evening Buzzfeed’s Patrick Smith mentioned the “news culture” that exists in London “more so than anywhere else in the UK”. Although most of the events we found were based in the capital, we noticed that other cities are emerging as cultural hubs for bloggers and aspiring hacks. In this map we’ve shown you the events, meet-ups and workshops happening across the nation. The pearls of wisdom you glean from one day could make all the difference in that interview.
Check out our map to see if there’s an event near you! Tweet us @interhacktives or comment below if there are any more that you think should be included.
